[Gluster-devel] Any feedback on performance when migrating from 1gige to 10gbps infiniband?

[Brandon Lamb]

Hello,

We have started looking into some used inifiniband hardware to up our
network from the typical gigabit ethernet to the 10gigabit infiniband
stuff. Im curious to hear from anyone that has maybe done this or has
been able to see how much of a performance gain there is. My primary
interest would be in a replicated setup (5 or so clients and 2 data
servers). Our use would be web files and/or mail possibly, both i
guess are small files.

We are also however looking into building xen servers, and looking at
designs for do we stick images on local disks or try nas/san
solutions, try glusterfs for this maybe?

Thanks!
